In regards to tutoring, I have lots of experience throughout my student career as I would tutor in high school for about 10 hours a week and would tutor my friends in college.

I have been teaching science for 14 years now in NC. I graduated from Elizabeth City State University with a degree in Biology and a minor in chemistry. I believe it is ok to struggle, as long as it is a successful struggle. If we don't learn it one way, then we change the way we are taught!
